MARTINS FERRY.

Mr.. John Stewart was ill yesterday
evening.
Mr.. Henry Helling is making some i'm
provements on his Fifth street tenement
property.
An infant daughter of Mrs. Anna
Davies will be buried in Weeks cemetery
this afternoon.
Mr.. John Terrell has taken charge Of
the night skiff ferry and will give it his
entire attention.
Yesterday evenings wind storm unroof-
ed a part of Mr.. S. F. Deans house on
North Fifth street, and blew down fences
in several places.
A Citizens Convention will be held in
the old First Ward school house this even
ing to nominate candidates for Council
men and Assessor.
Prayer meetings in all the churches
were abandoned last night, to allow all to
attend Major Camps meetings in Lafay-
cite Hall. There will be no evening ser
vices in any Of the churches on Sunday
evening.
Last evening, Major Camp delivered a
lecture for the special benefit of the Grand
Army members. Major Camp earned his
handle honestly, and can tell the old
soldiers all about it. Tomorrow evening
he speaks to the Knights of Labor and
workingmen in general.
1t has been suggested, aud we think
wisely too, that the name of opening
Fifth street, and for that matter all Others,
be made an issue in the selection of Coun-
cilmen at the coming election. There are
two plans suggested for the opening OF
Fifth street, n is the house and fraction
plan" and the other is by assessing the
damages upon those directly benefited.
Both plans have their supporters, and it
would be a good scheme to make the mat
ter a direct issue in the election of Council
men from each ward. Let the candidates
specifically state before election their re-
spective positions in the case, 50 that the
people may say what they want. This
will then establish a precedent, and should
be taken as a pertinent pointer by the
three Councilmen who hold over.

Taken to Chicago.

Yesterday morning Detective Cosgrove,
of Chicago, arrived in the city for the pur-
pose of taking back with him the boy
Paul Carroll, who is wanted for the larceny
of a gold watch. Col. W. w. Arnett had
been engaged as counsel by Mr.. Carroll,
and the father was very much opposed to
having his son 90 without a requisition
unless he was given some pledge that the
boy would be held merely rs a witness
against the parties in Chicago. The De-
tective, of course, could give no such
guarantee, but heidelayed his departure
until half-past ten o'clock last night, at
which time he left with his prisoner via
the B. q q.

THE usual treatment of catarrh is yer

THE usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing
patients can testify. On this point a
trustworthy medical writer says: Proper
local treatment is positively necessary to
success, but many, if not most of the rem
edies in general use by physicians, afford
but temporary benefit. A cure certainly
cannot be expected from snutfs, powders,
douches and washes" Ely's Cream Balm
is a remedy which combines the important
requisites of quick action, specific curative
power, with perfect safety and pleasant
ness to the patient.

The newspaper clipping appears to have

type, quality of paper, makeup, &c, re-

A sad accident happened on the Valley

which one man was instantly killed and
another so badly injured that he cannot

strangers travelling in the same direction,
were walking along the track together.

the other track when they were struck
and run over by q freight train going

stopped and ran back only to find
the ewes in the discovered head OF n man
gazing at him and the quiyering flesh Of
the body literally ground TO n pulp and the
other so badly manglcd rs TO be past recog-
milton. One OF the men is supposed, from
the description given, to be n printer,
named Rock, from West Virginia, where
he has a family, who passed through this
place in hunt of work on that morning and
would about have time TO reach the spot
where the accident occurred. The Coro-
ner's verdict was rendered death by accl-
dent" on the dead man. The other man
was carried to n house near by and n ply
stefan summoned, but his injuries are such
that he cannot survive long.
The Moundsyille Herald of yesterday
says:
Mr.. II. w. Rock, whom the above is
supposed to refer to, is will known 10 our
people. He was in the newspaper bust.
ness here for many years. He was first
connected with the National and afterward
with the Reporter, of which paper he was
editor and proprietor when it was de-
stroyed by fire in 1884. The property was
wholly uninsured and the loss was a blow
from which deceased never recovered tinan-
cially. In the spring Of 1856, he went 10
Pittsburg, where he has since been en-
gagged; but it appears from the above that
he was seeking work when he met with
the accident, which has no doubt ere this
resulted in death. His family reside here,
and have been unable to Obtain any infOr-
nation on the matter, other than the above.

"Sordeckp Last Evening.

ssNordeck" was repeated by Mr.. Frank
Mayo and his company at the Opera House
LAT evening, to only a fair audience. It's
yarv evident that the Wheeling public,
which is always kicking because there are
not more good attractions at the Dpera
House, fail to show up at the Opera House
when a really first-class attraction
does come. "Nordeck' was undoubtedly
one of the finest plays ever produced In
Wheeling and the company as excellent,
Init thew were greeted with very mediocre
audiences. People who howl about not
having good attractions should have the
hell RING on them. Mr.. Mayo's engage
ment was not so much a financial as an
artistic success.

Thought Reymann Had a Monopoly.

IhOuEnt heNHlhnu hd NhohoPoAJ'
A stranger from the Third district wa
in the city several days since, and one
evening, while returning to his hotel late
at night he felt the need of a glass of beer,
and looking up at a doorway saw a sign
bearing the name of Reymann. He went
in, got his beer, and continued on his way.
Pretty soon he thought another beer was
needed, so, stopping before q red light
again, he looked at the sign in front of the
door; he saw Reymann again. He began to
think Reymann was running several saloons
and went in and took another beer. This
was so good that he determined to have
another before he reached the hotel and re-
peated the same performance of looking in
front of another saloon. Reymann stared
him in the face again on the same kind of
sign. Then he began to think he hadn't
been moving at all, but was at the same
place he got the first beer, but when he
went in the surroundings were different
and a different caterer stood behind the
bar, so he was rather mystiied, and lean
ing over the bar he whispered, How many
saloons in this town does Reymann own"
The bar keeper laughed and explained, and
the Joke being too good the gentleman from
the Third told it on himself.
